Regulation 14 Inventory change report
For each material balance area, the operator must send to the ONR an inventory change report in respect of all qualifying nuclear material using the format set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1.
Unless otherwise specified in the particular safeguard provisions imposed under regulation 5, the operator must send to the ONR an inventory change report within the period of 15 days beginning with the end of each month, in which the operator must state all inventory changes to the qualifying nuclear material which have occurred or become known to the operator during that month.
In respect of any month in which a physical inventory is taken and the physical inventory taking date is not the last day of the month, the operator must send two separate inventory change reports to the ONR—
a first inventory change report containing any inventory changes up to and including the date on which the physical inventory was taken, to be sent to the ONR with the physical inventory listing and the material balance report, which are referred to in regulation 15 and are to be sent to the ONR as soon as possible and at the latest within a period of 15 days beginning with the day on which the physical inventory was taken; and
a second inventory change report, to be sent within a period of 15 days beginning with the end of the month in which the physical inventory was taken, containing all inventory changes from the first day after the physical inventory was taken up to and including the last day of the month.
In respect of a month in which no inventory changes occur, when the operator sends the inventory change report to the ONR in accordance with paragraph (1), the operator must carry over the ending book inventory of the previous month.
In order that they may be reported as a single inventory change, small inventory changes, such as transfers of samples for the purpose of analysis, may be grouped together, unless otherwise stated in the particular safeguard provisions for the relevant qualifying nuclear facility.
Inventory change reports may include comments explaining the inventory changes.
